900 brake light problem

Jun 29, 2003 3 Replies

My '93 900's tail brake lights stopped working. Traced to a funky connection at the drivers side taillight where the brake light wire goes to the terminal strip of the brakelight and then routed to the other side brake lights. Seems light a bad design having all the current for the both lights go through terminal connections; they just fail over time. Does anyone have solutions, insights, etc..? I fixed by jumpering the wire around the terminal strip; I didn't want to buy a new tail light assembly.

You could try cleaning the terminal connections too, probably quite corroded.

Thanks for the reply and link, but the problem is with the hot (red) wire circuit, not the ground, and it's a '93 900, not an early one. BTW, do you know how to remove the connectors from the terminal strip? Alex
